Lopez vs. Lopez

A lot of this was cringy (get rid of that canned laughter!), but there were some jokes that landed - the ones in the trailers and especially the Tiktok one with Lopez and his ex. I thought that was really funny.

I also laughed at the kid's face when Lopez asked if he had told him the story about the man born with the body of an owl.

Unlike what another commenter said, we old folks actually know what tiktok is and there are plenty of older people who have content and quite a few followers.

Maybe the person who thinks we don't know needs to get out more (🙄)

Will I stick with this show? Maybe. I have stuck with shows who's pilot wasn't the best and the actors and characters melded over time. Also I didn't find the acting poor.

Maybe I damn with faint praise...

Let's hope this one improves. BTW, I didn't like his original show which came across, to me, as just another generic sitcom in "brownface", instead of being a unique experience of Latino culture.

I'm not Hispanic, but I'm not white either and I've watched plenty of sitcoms with mostly white characters that I thought were really funny and I really thought his show would be unique and, to me, it just wasn't.

Maybe the second time will be the charm.

It's really a remake of one of Lopez's older shows, but modernized in a way that doesn't feel like it was dumbed down and/or condescending. It's not gonna be anyone's favorite show, but it's worth watching for a good laugh here and there.

The main things I think they do really well with are references to his old shows, and the fact that George really let's the other cast members shine. It's definitely still a George Lopez show, but the side characters are fleshed out pretty well and tend to be the real highlights.

Bonus points for any show that has Rita Moreno guest star in am episode, that woman looks INCREDIBLE.(the last bit was admittedly just to hit the minimim character requirement)

I've been watching George Lopez show reruns and loved them. When I heard that he had a new show I thought great. Loved George. The plot sounded good. I've watched the first two episodes and I don't care for it. I love his daughter and the actor who plays her husband. Those are the only two likable characters. I don't like George and he was the reason I watched. The George that is portrayed is more like the George Lopez the tabloids used to talk about. Alcoholism, etc .Which is sad. They have included an annoying laughter track probably because the show isn't funny. Sadly to say I really don't see myself watching anymore episodes.

Why in the world do sitcom producers still insist on adding laugh tracks? Are they afraid their shows just aren't funny, that audiences can't judge for themselves? In the case of this particular show, yep. These producers need to check out Abbott Elementary and Young Sheldon, shows that are huge hits that don't need laugh tracks. (A big mystery there is why Chuck Lorre continues to produce other sitcoms that are still plastered with those dreaded tracks).

I tried to get my teenage granddaughters interested in Lopez vs Lopez. They watched about ten minutes of the pilot and said no way, we hate laugh tracks.

All that said, I still like this show, even though my husband doesn't for the reason I keep harping on.

I really like the show and George Lopez but after a few episodes the same stupid annoying music plays at the beginning and at every break and it makes me want to gouge out my ears! How is no one complaining about this??? If I want to watch I have to mute it at the first note every time. It drives me crazy. Otherwise, I think George is funny and I love his crazy hair. The kid is usually pretty funny and cute.

It's not the pinnacle of television excellence but it's amusing and fun. By the way, why do these reviews have character minimums!!?? Also obnoxious. Apujwbnfgpiwurfbpiubpiwubfweiujbefwiub.
